    El álbum en si es grandioso si hablamos de las letras de las canciones te dejan asombrado son como los otros artistas que te muestran otro tipo de letra, BTS Nos enseña que no siempre se debe usar el mismo tema en todas las canciones.

    realmente un album muy bueno, todas las canciones tienen algo especial. Es maravilloso como en un solo album podemos observar canciones tan distintas, pero todas muy buenas.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. El álbum cuenta con canciones profundas en su contenido, pero sin quitar un componente alegre, a primera vista se podría pensar que las letras refieren a amor romántico, pero en realidad es más complejo y requiere de análisis, si no se es fan o se desconoce el BTS Universe recomiendo leer el libro homónimo… Expand

    BTS have once again outdone themselves. The themes in this album are outstanding and all about self love. I highly recommend listening to these songs whilst having lyric translations on hand for the full experience.

    Very interesting listen. Uses text painting tastefully. No track us the same, each has its own flare.

    This mini album is fun and enjoyable, and will gives you a type of good vibes.
    From 1st song Persona which speaks about being who you are, And Boy with luv will brighten your day like you're in love. Mikrokomos, will bring you into a galaxy place and gives hope. And make it right, home, jaimas vu, and dionysius are very entertaining.

    The EP moves easily through different spheres of young love, young fame and young ambition, all of it audible through coruscating backgrounds and intense vocal deliveries that channel the high-running tensions of technicolor teenage drama.

    A valiant and partly successful attempt from K-pop’s biggest band to move forward in their music. While they undeniably remain a success, the recycled sonics and multiple references to past music makes it hard for old listeners to let go of past glory and for the new to connect with their current music.

    Map of the Soul: Persona is a bold, if tempered, call to Western media.
